The moving party, Aecon Buildings, brought a motion to quash an appeal on the basis that the lower court's order denying a stay of the action for abuse of process (based on an alleged champertous agreement) was interlocutory.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the motion to quash, finding that the lower court's decision finally determined a claim that could have ended the action in favour of the appellant, making it a final order subject to appeal.
